Watauga County is the second North Carolina County to be studied for potential and known landslide hazards. North Carolina Geological Survey staff in Swannanoa (Asheville Regional Office) are heading up this multi-year effort.

Watauga County Landslide Hazard Data can now be viewed interactively online using our Watauga County Landslide Map Viewer. Users can also view additional Watauga County spatial data layers, such as county tax parcels, roads, hydrography, and critical facilities. Several vintages of aerial photography are also available through this viewer.
